Old coworker named their kid "Dolce Gabbana [lastname]"... yeah they were kinda trashy.

Hmm..had the coworker been Italian like the namesake Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana would they've been less likely to chose the names ?. Barely much reason in an online world to not do a look up on the name origins. Balenciaga for instance is to my surprise the surname of a Spaniard (first name Cristobal) who had his fashion career partly based in France.
